after this the united kingdom had an open stance and she showed her allegiance with the national will democracy, and with his excellency mr ambassador. top authorities of the british government wants more. —— again was shown to techie. they were very clear in their stance with their support to turkey. this was highly welcomed by the turkish people. i would like to extend my gratitude to their support. more over, would like to extend my gratitude to theirsupport. more over, our countries fight against terrorist organisations. each and every day there is a new terrorist organisation with a new abbreviation. no matter what abbreviation. no matter what abbreviation they have, what paper they have come activities remained they have come activities remained the same and we have the opportunity to tell about our fight against these terrorist organisations. both in iraq and syria, in these reasons green regions, turkey will continue the fight. —— in these regions techie will continue the fight. members of the press, amongst certain issues that we discussed, the real actors behind the coup att

they are bringing prosperity here to the united kingdom. in doing that, the benefit of other countries in europe and across the world stage. >> whether there is preferential access to eu nationals party negotiation or do you commit to treating immigration and treat eu nations like not eu nations, and do you believe in a two state solution in the middle east? >> we do continue to believe in the two state solution in the middle east and everything we are looking for and continue to work for. on the immigration issue, the home office is working on various ways this can be achieved. we recognize the importance of coming into the uk, we want to welcome the brightest and best, we know the benefits and recognize the value of the contributions made by the european union to the uk, and -- >> from france. and certain british secretaries, business sectors according to their needs. >> we are looking at rules and structures, recognizing the need to the united kingdom and the values we swing into the united kingdom but what was clear from 23 june is peop

so early in his administration, that is the strength of the special relationship between the united kingdom and the united states of america, special relationship on which he and i intend to build. can i also say i am not afraid to speak frankly to a president of the united states. i am able to do that, we have that special relationship that he would never have with the united states. >> mister speaker, we would never allow britain to be sold up on the cheap. how confident is she in getting a good deal for global britain from a president who wants to put america first and build a wall between his country and mexico. article 15 wasn't about court judgment against this government. the bad judgment of prioritizing corporate tax cuts over investments in social care. bad judgment threatening european parlors while offering a blank check to president trump. the bad judgment of wanting to turn britain into a bargain basement tax haven, so will she offer some clarity and service and withdraw the threat to destroy the social structure of this country by turning us into the bargain-basement she clear

>> it is precisely as i move out of the european union, united kingdom will be looking globally, i want to ensure we continue to play our part in the united nations and the united nations is able to do the job everybody wants it to do, the most important ball work in maintaining the safety and security across the european continent, that is why we are continuing to support nato, british troops are in estonia, british forces in poland and romania showing our commitment to nato. the thrust of my speech is we want a strong strategic partnership with the european union, we want that access to the single market, free trade agreement and continue to work with them on justice and security matters because now is not the time to cooperate less but to cooperate more. >> a replay, numb one 3 one against wimbledon, what is really happy is getting to work on a day-to-day basis. does the prime ministers share my cautious optimism that this could provide a long-lasting solution to hard cut commuters? >> is former wimbledon counselor i am not sure i share the enthusiasm my honorable friend says, but on

we want to achieve an arrangement that ensures the interests of the united kingdom are put first. that's what i will be doing. and to make sure we see a trade arrangement with the united states, as we will be looking for with other parts of the world, that can increase our prosperity to the united kingdom. my aim for this government is to to ensure that economy works for everyone in every part of the united kingdom. >> the european union, which we are still part of, has amongst the highest food safety standards in the world. we are proud to have public national health systems. united states is keen to have health systems that are fully open to private competition. they want to expert -- export genetically modified organisms and chicken meat washed with chlorinated water. will the prime minister tell president trump that she is not prepared to lower our food and safety standards, or to open health systems for privatization? or does she believe this is a worth paying for a u.s.-u.k. trained iliac and -- trade deal? p.m. may: we will bring prosperity and growth that will ensure we can

and into the united kingdom. what was clear them the 23rd of june vote is as a lead the eu, people want us to be able to make the decisions ourselves to what our immigration system is for people coming from the european union and we will do just that. robert? sorry to press you on are you saying that when you argue that we would be off from leaving the eu and single market, you recognize you are wrong about that? and good from the parliament will have a vote on the final deal, if parliament to reject the final deal, would we still being the eu? prime minister may: first of all, it is not a surprise to any of you. the government is formed of people campaigned on both sides of the argument when the referendum came. what we are doing is saying, and as i say, what we have seen in the economy since we did about to leave, has been more positive the many predicted in advance of the vote being taken. today's about coming together and saying, what are the opportunities we can embrace across the world and in our future rel

, not leave the united kingdom. phrase equal partnership has been used by the conservative party, that scotland is an equal partner within the united kingdom. if you're an equal partner within the united kingdom, then your views on something as substantial and far reaching as brexit deserve to be taken on account on an equal basis. it was one person, one vote in scotland as it was everywhere else in the country. a scottish person was equal to everywhere else. but scotland is a country, not a county, and the scottish nation voted decisively to stay within the european union. but of course, it was theresa may who said explicitly, the week after she became prime minister, when she went to visit nicola sturgeon in scotland, she said she wanted an agreed position across the united kingdom. you can't have an agreed position, unless you're prepared to consult people on an equal basis. she is consulting, but i don't think it was understood that the scottish administration would have equal say on an issue of customs union, i

my answer is clear, i want this united kingdom to emerge from this time of change stronger, fairer, more united, and more united, and more outward looking than ever before. i want us to be a secure, prosperous, tolerant country, a magnet for international talent in a home to the pioneers and innovators who will shape the world ahead. i want us to be a truly global britain, the the best friend and neighbor to european partners in a country that reaches beyond the borders, country that that goes out into the world to build relationships with old friends and new allies alike. i want britain to be that we have the potential, talents and ambition to become a great global global trading nation that is respected around the world and strong, confident, and united at home. that is why this government has a plan for britain. with the right deal abroad it also ensures that we get a better deal for all working people at home. that is why that plan sets out how will use this moment of change to build a stronger economy and a fairer society by embracing genuine, economic, and social reform. while the

and the eu and the united kingdom and the eu and the united kingdom and the eu and the united kingdombels and look at the numbers you would pick the with the numbers you would pick the with the eu everytime. and, yet, we have had a vote where we are leaving the european union and now we are in a position where we have to leave an extremely advantageous trade relationship and make up for it with other deals. the prime minister has a job on her hands. president trump as saying that he will do this himself but we know that today it is just talks between the leaders. they won‘t do anything, it is just about the team of negotiators. as the uk have the right people in place to make, to do the negotiations without being eaten alive by your lot? the united kingdom does not have sufficient numbers of trade experts right now and at what is worrying, of course, is that they had to do trade negotiations with the eu and the other 27 member states and now, potential, with the united states. so, again, it is sort of like entering a boxing ring with one arm tied behind your back. and how about the us

and the united kingdom itself must define what it wants.s to be no longer a shareholder. the statute says only members of the european union can be shareholders. probably it will take a long time until we know what can happen. both with our staff members from the united kingdom, which are very valuable for us, and with our exposure in the uk and future projects. so there are risks to some of the funding that comes to britain at the moment, could be more expensive? i believe so, yes. the bank is lending at incredibly favourable conditions and the united kingdom has benefited from that very much over the last decade and in the last year in particular. and the united kingdom does not have a national promotional bank compared to the other big member states. so something you will have to be set up, i believe, and that will take time. we can just see they're one of the possible risks britain is now facing but broadly i think british businesses working here at the world economic forum at the same now there isa economic forum at the same now there

and into the united kingdom. what was clear them the 23rd of june vote is as a lead the eu, people want us to be able to make the decisions ourselves to what our immigration system is for people coming from the european union and we will do just that. robert? robert: sorry to press you on this, but are you saying that when you argue that we would be worse off from leaving the eu and single market, you recognize you are wrong about that? and good from the parliament will have a vote on the final deal, if parliament to reject the final deal, would we still being the eu? prime minister may: first of all, it is not a surprise to any of you. the government is formed of people campaigned on both sides of the argument when the referendum came. what we are doing is saying, and as i say, what we have seen in the economy since we did about to leave, has been more positive the many predicted in advance of the vote being taken. today's about coming together and saying, what are the opportunities we can embrace across the wor

with the united kingdom. 0ne relationship with the united kingdom. one of our earliest and oldest allies, their changes in the approach to trade opens up the opportunity to discuss with the prime minister the possibility of a bilateral trade agreement with the british people. that was mitch mcconnell. i am interested british people. that was mitch mcconnell. iam interested in british people. that was mitch mcconnell. i am interested in this. is it in america's interests that there is a strong, cohesive european union, or would you rather that the eu was a series of nation states that you dealt with bilaterally?” think that donald trump prefers dealing with countries bilaterally. certainly america it's off would not joina certainly america it's off would not join a supranational organisation, and now the people of written have

my country, the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland has been proud to share that burden and to walk alongside you at every stage. [applause] for the past century britain and america, and the unique and special relationship that exists between us has taken the idea conceived by those 56 rank and file ordinary citizens president reagan called them forward. because we have done so, time and again, it is the relationship between us that has defined the modern world. one hundred years ago this april it was your intervention in the first world war that helped britain, france, our friends in the commonwealth and other allies to maintain freedom in europe. [applause] a little more than 75 years ago you responded to the japanese attack on pearl harbor by joining britain in the second world war and defeating fascism, not just in the pacific but in africa and europe too. later in the aftermath of these wars, our two countries led the west through the cold war, confronting communism and ultimately defeating it, not just through military might, but by winning the war of ideas and by

that is the sign of the special relationship between the united kingdom and the united states of america. a special relationship on which he and i intend to build. and i also say to the leader of the opposition, i am not afraid to speak frankly to the president of the united states. i am able to do that because we have that special relationship, a special relationship that he would never have with the uniteh states. >> mr. speaker, we would never allow britain to be sold up on the cheap. how confident is she of getting a good deal for global britain from a president who wants to put america first by americansic and build a wall between its country and mexico. article 50 wasn't about a court judgment about this government. what it signified was the bad judgment of this government. the bad judgment of prioritizing corporate tax cut over investments in national health and social care. the bad judgment of threatening european partners while offering a blank check to president trump the bad judgment of wanting to turn britain into a bargain-basement tax haven so will she offer some clarity an

people in the united kingdom. maria caulfield, how do you see mm people in the united kingdom. you see it? it is a great opportunity for this country to start trading with the rest of the world. currently, our membership of the eu prevents us doing free trade deals with, 12 countries and places like the us. if we stay in the customs union, we will still be hampered by that. sol the customs union, we will still be hampered by that. so i am waiting to hear what the prime minister says, but this is an opportunity for this country to grow jobs but this is an opportunity for this country to growjobs and make links with countries that we currently can't do. philwilson, what with countries that we currently can't do. phil wilson, what about the point that stay in the customs union would hamper the uk's ability to have the sort of deal that donald trump is saying he wants to have quickly between the uk and the us? we talk about this deal with the united states. we can't actually start negotiating with the united states until we have left europe, two years down the line. why not? becaus

invitation, formally issued the invitation for a state visit to president trump, here to the united kingdomand that invitations stands. protests against the president's policy have taken place across the uk, as an online petition, calling for his state visit dropped, attracts more than 1.5 million signatures. canadian police have charged a french—canadian student over the killing of six people at a mosque in quebec. the actor peter capaldi has announced he is stepping down from the role of doctor who. and coming up on newsnight. copper ore at those travel restrictions. we will hear from the most senior diplomat to come out of the us, what is his reaction to his president's travel bans? —— uproar at those travel bans? —— uproar at those travel restrictions. good evening and welcome to bbc news. a state visit to britain by president trump will go ahead later this year, despite mounting opposition. an online petition objecting to the visit has now attracted more than 1.5 million names, and there have been demonstrations in several cities this evening. the row was prompted by mr trump's decisio

the united states is a close ally of the united kingdom.y areas of mutual interest, and we have that special relationship between us. i issued that invitation for president trump to the united kingdom and that invitation stands. i spoke to the president very shortly after he was elected and he extended the invitation to me as taoiseach, as has been extended for many years to all of us previously and all governments in the united states. i intend to accept the invitation and idoso intend to accept the invitation and i do so fora intend to accept the invitation and i do so for a number of specific reasons. first of all, i think it is very important that i am able to say face—to—face to the president the issues which are important to us. i disagree with the policies introduced by the american government, but i don't want a situation where 35 million irish—americans who sign on with connections to this country, or the 50,000 undocumented irish people in the united states are left without contact. the united states are left without co nta ct. we

together, america and the united kingdom are a beacon for prosperity and the rule of law. s why the united states respects the sovereignty of the british people and their right of self—determination. a free and independent britain is a blessing to the world and our relationship has never been stronger. both america and britain understand that governments must be responsive to everyday working people, that governments must represent their own citizens. madam prime minister, we look forward to working closely with you as we strengthen our mutual ties and commerce, business and foreign affairs. great days lie ahead for our two peoples and our two countries. on behalf of our nation, i thank you forjoining us here today. it is a really great honour. thank you very much. thank you very much, mr president. can i start by saying that i am so pleased that i have been able to be here today and thank you for inviting me so soon after your inauguration. i'm delighted to be able to congratulate you on what was a stunning election victory. as you say, the invitation is an indication of t

i can see a very strong relationship with united kingdom and i think we should encourage that. he is now the president of the united states of america and we are benighted kingdom, the closest ally and that is important position. —— united kingdom. we should use that position to win trade. the contest to decide the socialist party nomination for france's presidential election will be reduced to two candidates in a first round of voting later. six men and a woman are taking part — they include the former prime minister, manuel valls. a run—off will take place in a week's time. our correspondent hugh scohfield is in paris. he explained to me earlier. there are no clear front runners. there are no clear front runners. the polls give no guidance whatsoever because nobody knows who will be voting in this primary. it is open an enema can turn up if they signa is open an enema can turn up if they sign a bit of paper saying the broadly espoused values of the left. nobody knows whether that means that somebody will be from the hard left to keep out valls whether mainstream left will see

it is precisely as we move out of the european union and the united kingdom will be more productive, safety and security across european continent. that desire we are continuing to support nato and indeed british troops are in estonia, the jewish indeed british troops are in estonia, thejewish voters in holland, romania, continuing to show our commitment to nato. —— we want a strong strategic partnership with the european union. we want access to single market, the free trade agreement but we also want to continue to work with them on justice and security matters because now is not a time to cooperate less it isa now is not a time to cooperate less it is a time to incorporate more. the third round replay where sutton united beat wimbledon 3—1. the pressing issue is what would make the rally happy is to be able to get into work on a day—to—day basis. does the parameter gemma cautious optimism that the return to talks with aslef and sutherland could provide a solution for hard—pressed commuters? is a former rwandan councillor i am not sure i could shared enthusiasm my honourable friend

but i'm clear also that there are many issues on which the united kingdom and the united states stand alongside one another. many issues on which we agree. and i think as i said yesterday in my speech, we are at a moment now where we can build an even stronger special relationship which will be in the interest not just of the uk and the united states but actually in the interest of the world as well. >> we have a general that has just been appointed secretary of defense. general james mattis. and he has stated publicly that he does not necessarily believe in torture. for waterboarding or however, you want to define it. enhanced interrogation i would be a word a lot of people would like to use. i do not necessarily agree. but i would tell you that he will override because i'm giving him that power. he is an expert. highly respected, he is the general general. we got through the senate very quickly which in this country is not easy. i will tell you. and so i'm going to rely on him. i happen to feel that it does work. i have been open about that for a long period of time. but i'm going w

scotland voted to stay in the united kingdom, just a year ago 01’ the united kingdom, just a year agoshe can't call another referendum. it has to come from westminster. herargument referendum. it has to come from westminster. her argument is that the type of brexit that theresa may is aiming for, taking the uk out of the single market for example, that is not what scotland voted for. she would like scotland to become independent and be a part of the european union. the court today ruled that scotland will not get a say on all of this at this point. of course, nicola sturgeon doesn't want to have a referendum unless she is convinced she will win. at the moment the polls suggest that wouldn't happen. i think she will bide your time. certainly, she is issuing these warnings regularly. obviously it was a defeat for the government, but that clarified an awful lot of them, particularly on scotla nd awful lot of them, particularly on scotland and whether they had a veto. but also the issue of northern ireland. the assembly collapsed the recently. that problem also taken out of the picture. l

if we're looking at things made in the united kingdom. you got fourth quarter gdp numbers, six tenth of a percent growth. you've got a lot of company here, we can put some of them up. these are the fords of the world that do huge amount of revenue with the united kingdom. the penske automotive world, xerox for example, genessee in wyoming, a bunch of them. please, if we could put them up. a lot of the viewers may own the stocks. largest percentage of profits from the uk. exxonmobil, a dow component aside from services, banking, tell me what we can get from the uk so it looks like a good deal for us? >> actually the tech sector in the uk is reallyaking off, and i think that when you look at what's going on for example around cambridge university with life sciences and the medical affect there. that's a huge opportunity for partnerships and collaboration, that's happening and the economic base of the uk is incredibly strong. two of the top five universities are in the uk. so i think bringing that together with america's entrepreneurial dyna

we work together gci’oss the united kingdom.rk together across many areas of mutual interest and we have that special relationship between us. i have issued that invitation, the invitation for a state visit to president trump to come to the united kingdom and that invitation stands. speaking to us in the past hour the former foreign secretary, malcolm riftkind, criticised calls for the state visit to be cancelled. and he dismissed the idea it would cause embarrassment to the queen. if you remember how difficult and painful it was when we did the deal with the ira to bring peace in northern ireland. the queen had to shake hands with gerry adams and martin mcguinness. and her own family, lord mountbatten had been one of the people murdered by the ira. the queen is head of state. just as the rest of us have to do things we personally dislike, if we have public responsibilities, we have public responsibilities, we have to decide the interests of the country as a whole require of us. otherwise we should not be in that job. state visi

may joins us this afternoon at a time of renewed opportunity for the united states and united kingdom, continuing to walk side-by-side. her decision to visit america after our presidential election and the republican-led government to powers, a signal of her commitment to strengthen the special relationship over countries. it is my honor to welcome america's newest friend, from number 10 downing street, the first foreign head of state to visit and address our retreat, the honorable theresa may. [cheers and applause] ms. may: thank you very much for that fantastic welcome. can i say, majority leader mcconnell, mr. speaker, representatives of the house, i would like to thank congress for the invitation to be here today. the opportunity to visit the united states is always special and to be invited to be the first serving head of government to address this important conference is an honor indeed. i defy any person to travel to this great country at any time and not be inspired by its promise and example. centuries, thewo very idea of america, drawn from history and given written form in
